I agree. I find Chris Ryan the most succinct and effective.

> I avidly scour YouTube and other internet outlets for golf instruction because that is how I primarily learned/learn the game. I am pretty much completely self-taught through watching and reading everything I can and trial-and-error. Here are the channels I've found below:

>

> Mark Crossfield - but IMO his instruction isn't as good or common as it used to be.

> Clay Ballard - don't bother, his videos are absurdly long and they will always cut off by asking you to purchase his program.

> Monte Scheinblum - great instructor, a little rough around the edges, but has some profound wisdom about the swing.

> TXG - take a different approach to analyzing the game. Data to back up their points. They are both entertaining guys to watch.

> George Gankas - I don't agree with all his teaching but he has a lot of good stuff.

> Mike Malaska - same as above, pick and choose what works best for you.

> Scratch Golf Academy - I used to live near this guy in Naples, FL. Really simplifies instruction and is a very nice guy. Rather basic instruction but still worth a look.

> Meandmygolf - Same as Mark Crossfield, they focus more on instruction than anything else but I haven't really found their stuff all that useful. They do a lot with Pro's now though so it's fun to watch.

> Bebettergolf - So this guy is on his own personal golf journey, but he has 1-off or 2-off videos of his lessons with tons of different instructors. It's a great way to find new instructors you didn't know about before and follow their teachings. And the Bebettergolf guy seems like a nice dude who is passionate about the game.

> Tony Luczak - This guy has really great insight into the golf swing that will really get you right in the way you think about the game.

> Shawn Clement - People swear by this guy, I personally can't stand him. I find watching him, his golf swing, and movements to be so cringe-worthy. That being said, he has a loyal following so I'm sure there's good stuff in there. 

> Mygolfswingevolution - This guy's early channel was so enjoyable to watch. He's on a personal "Ben Hogan" swing journey and really analyzes all sorts of different areas of the golf swing. Some of his videos really can give you "ah-ha" moments while others are very into the weeds. His later videos are hit-and-miss, and I find a lot of his videos are now promoting his own books or seminars or events. That being said, he's a guy on a journey to improve his swing which is really what we are all doing.

> Rick Shiels - His channel has changed a lot through the years. Same with his buddy Peter Finch. Rick is getting really popular outside of YouTube and starting to do other things besides make videos I have never found his instruction all that worth it, but his equipment reviews can be fun to watch.

> Dan Whittaker - Lots of instruction on his channel. Much more of a "teaching" channel I think. Lots of good videos.

> Pete Cowen - This guy teaches Henrik Stenson and Thomas Pieters (among others). I don't know if he's still actively putting up videos, but find some stuff by him, it's very good information.

>

> There's a lot of other channels that do equipment reviews or are average and fun to watch sometimes. But a lot of the above will get you started down a long road of instructional information. 

>

> I hope that helps a little!

If I were a 13.8 and followed 15 different online teachers, I think that would be a one-way ticket to 29.2, with an optional lay-over at 19.5.

Russell Heritage, Chris Ryan, and Adam Bazalgette are my three favorite instructors on YouTube, and it's because of their style. Very simple, very casual, very clear.

 

My big and obvious complaint with Russell Heritage is the video titles. They are... ridiculously click-baity. To the point where it's literally impossible to find any specific video. What's that one with the really good pelvic motion feel? No idea, because they're all "TRY THIS ONE MAGIC MOVE!"

[Hound]

I am a big fan of Steve Johnston PGA. He has truly helped me with great drills and advice. His channel only has 15K subscribers but is full of knowledge. Anyone else heard of him?

[tocino]

Anyone else watch golfsidekick? I actually enjoy his how to break ** videos. He doesn’t teach you how to swing but he does have some cool concepts on how to get around the course better at your current skill level. I even started saying “whadaplaya!” during my friendly rounds lol

[Zizzer]

search for Lynn Blake on YouTube. Lynn is the premier mind on The Golfing Machine, today, and his videos are extremely useful to any golfer

LOL just something that I learned is that Americans have accents too. All over the world it's thought of as an American accent lol. I was like OK now wonder you don't like us when I said I don't have an accent! Aimee has a Korean American accent. It's very common in LA where there is a huge K-Town.

[JaNelson38]

Golf Sidekick is a good channel too that I've stumbled upon just recently. He's not an "instructor", but a low-figure player. He has mostly on-course videos going shot by shot playing a round, but he provides good insights on the mental aspect of the game and course management - something that you dont find often in golf instruction. And his videos are usually fun to watch too.

Apologies, Dinosaur. I struggle with ISS (Insufferable Smarta** Syndrome); it's like a drug, I can't help myself.

 

I also have AOD (Acronym Overload Disorder)...

Haha, I didn't realize that about Heritage but now that you mention it, that's right.

Anyway, I watch him the most. The way he explains angles and sequence really clarifies a lot of the mystery of the swing for me.

Adam Bazalgette is pretty good thx. Is this a golf secret? Don't swing the club head to the ball. Swing the shaft ahead of the ball to pressure the ball, the shaft and hips are ahead of ball. Skip to the second half of the video at 5:30 and 7:10.

Yeah, fun channel. Might be too realistic for some.

 

 

[upanddown]

I really like this guy's content..

 

https://www.alistairdaviesgolf.com/

[GolfChannel]

I basically only look at Monte, Larry Cheung, Clay Ballard & George Genkas. Lately, Larry has been the main go-to for me in terms of online content and my game has really improved in terms of consistency with every club.

[vman]

Eric Cogorno puts out a lot of great content. Concise and well explained.

[puttingmatt]

Clay Ballard, and Danny Maude,

Both are excellent, both give solid information.

Non youtubers, Monte and ITeach, found on these

forums. There are more, but these gentlemen

stand out to me.

[crucible]

> @vman said:

Yes, Eric Cogorno puts out a lot of good information. Given the choice of all of them to take a lesson from, Eric would be my first pick.

[Cwing]

Monte, me and my golf.

[hacker49]

I definitely agree with the folks who mention Meandmygolf. They are very good at giving you a simple drill to correct a problem. They explain the idea behind the drill and why it will help resolve the problem it is meant to fix.

 

One I am surprised I didn't see, unless I missed it, is Peter Finch. He mostly does course vlogs as of late but when he does give tips or lessons they are clear and simple.

 

Rick Shiels used to be good but it seems all he does lately is vlogs or reviews.

[Railroading13]

Monte, Malaska, Athletic Motion... I would also recommend the Bebettergolf channel, he mixes different instructors and is at a relatable level of play for most, one of his videos on pitching with Tim Yelvertson really helped me to use the bounce better and not get so steep on pitch shots.

[Patrick_O]

My top one is Eric Cogorno - I am currently doing one of his paid programs - the Reverse Slice Sequence.

 

I also like Monte (I have his paid videos for Driving and the Short Game), Jim Waldron (the Arm Swing Illusion), George Gankas (yes he talks crazy fast but has some good stuff), Robin Symmes, Bobby Lopez, and Shawn Clements.

 

I also like the old Mike Austin/Mike Dunaway videos.

[ShankLife]

Martin Chuck. Tour Striker himself. Great content.

[otto6457]

Bradley Hughes.

[HiTrajLoSpin]

Agree with those who like Eric Cogorno, and of course, Monte Scheinblum (bought a couple of his videos); both do a good job of communicating.

 

Clay Ballard seems okay, too.

 

As someone else mentioned, I just can't watch Clements videos, too quirky.

[Hellstorm]

I've recently discovered Clay Ballard, who I feel like some of his basic drills have helped my game. While I'm not a huge Shawn Clement fan, he had a few videos on drawing and fading the ball that were absolute game changers for me. His explanation and visuals allowed me to see and understand the face to path concept that I struggeld with. Golfsidekick as mentioned above, not really instructional videos but more about course management and playing within your limits, has been heavily watched lately.

 

I tend to stay away from a lot of online instruction but if I am struggling with a specific aspect of my game, i will look for a few drills or tips on how to deal with it. The big ones from recent memory are the hockey slapshot drill, basically splitting my grip which helped me stay down on my shots and the one about chipping around the greens with a putting stroke. I don't know why I never seen that concept before but after an hour of practicing the putting stroke chip my short game went from a glaring weakness to a solid strength.

[Krt22]

Zach Allen is a new one I have been following, very similar pattern as some of the other big names mentioned thus far

[tthomasgolfer605]

> @otto6457 said:

> Bradley Hughes.

 

Agreed. He's actually won big tournaments in Australia and played on tour. Most of the others mentioned have never been between the ropes. Clay Ballard did save my greenside bunker game though.

[gripandrip]

If your just looking for entertainment, try Alan Etches at Golfbox on you tube.... reviews, general stuff.

[ferrispgm]

Monte, AMG, and Brad Hughes are the only 3 I listen to. I primarily listen to Monte 98% of the time because he has made a drastic difference in my game...however if I want a more detailed or technical explanation for something he has me working on I'll then search that topic from AMG. If something isn't quite clicking 6 months later or I need a new way to see something then I may see what BH has to say because he does have some good stuff.

 

Be careful though...youtube can be great for getting more info on an issue or giving you a different way to look at it...but there is no substitute for getting a lesson. I would suggest you start with a lesson....learn what issues you are having....then use youtube to supplement your lesson if you feel the need....it's easy to go down a deep rabbit hole though if you don't know exactly what you need to do first.

[GolfChannel]

Honestly, since given getting the PlaneMate I have stopped watching YouTube altogether if it isn’t a video like TXG which is more equipment or fitting related.
